Celluloid Corridors: Timehelix

Deutschland 2017/2018 Kurz-Experimentalfilm

Summary

A-side of an audio-play about cinema: part film-manifesto, part audio-essay, part cinematic-séance, channeled via the voice and words of Cairo-based artist and writer Mohamed A. Gawad, with music, arrangement, and celluloid-splicing from Berlin-based Kreidler-chief, Andreas Reihse.
Shooting through archives across space and time. Spells of silence, ambient hum, celluloid glitch, vocal hybrids: "[…] focusing on the description of photographic film. Robotic echoes whirr away in the background, echoing the original sentiments, but abstracted into machine-like code, speeding up and slowing down as though being mistakenly spooled through a genetically imperfect machinated medium."
